AUTHORIN 2.1 for the Macintosh Available by FTP
AUTHORIN is a software tool developed by GenBank to assist researchers
in preparing their sequence data for submission to the data banks.
The program collects all the information needed for a data bank
submission, then prepares a submission file that you can send to the
data bank via electronic mail (or on a floppy disk, if you prefer).
AUTHORIN submission files can be converted directly into GenBank, EMBL,
or DDBJ entries, which significantly reduces the time and effort needed
to process the submission.
Authorin 2.1 for the Macintosh can now be obtained by anonymous FTP
from genbank.bio.net (Internet address 134.172.1.160). It is located
in the file pub/mac/authorin/authorin2.1.hqx. This file is a
binhexed stuffit archive. After transferring the file to your
Macintosh, you will need to use Stuffit 1.5 or Unstuffit 1.5 (or
more recent) to convert the file into a Macintosh application.
(Be sure to use the 'Decode BinHex File' command before extracting
the archived files.) Stuffit 1.5 is available for anonymous FTP
from genbank.bio.net in the pub/mac/dearchive directory.
NOTE: If you obtain AUTHORIN by FTP and wish to be notified of
future software updates, please send a message containing your name,
postal and e-mail addresses to authorin@genbank.bio.net. (Be sure to
indicate that you obtained the program by FTP and whether you
obtained the IBM-PC or Macintosh version.)
If you previously received AUTHORIN 2.0 for the Macintosh, be sure to
replace it with the updated 2.1 release. If you use an IBM PC-compatible
computer you can also use the AUTHORIN program. Release 1.1 for the IBM is
available for FTP in the directory pub/dos/authorin.
AUTHORIN includes extensive on-line help. In addition, a postscript version
of the user manual is available for FTP in the file authorin2.1manual.ps.
A hard copy version of the manual will also be sent on request. If you need
help preparing your submisssion or would like to receive documentation,
call toll-free 1-800-477-2459, or send a message to authorin@genbank.bio.net.
We hope you find AUTHORIN a useful tool for submitting your sequence data.
